Well done everyone.
For those that voted non-Tory, even in lught of the fact it might have no effect, congrats for trying. Even if the UK goes all V for Vendetta undet May, your consciences are clear.

Based on the reception the Labour manifesto has had according to polling, I think that is pretty untrue. The reality of the situation is that people falter for other reasons.
E:
Online and in fact ANY kind of electronic voting is a terrible idea.

Is it too optimistic to hope for a hung parliament? I voted for labour but mines a safe labour seat so it doesn't matter.
I've just been to vote and in the 2 minutes I was there, I saw at least 20 voters come and go. I don't believe you.
Pencil and paper is a much more safer way of safeguarding the integrity of the vote.

Just been to vote and there was a woman sat at a desk in the entrance-way asking people who'd voted to see their poll card and who they voted for, then writing down their electoral register number and vote. When I told her it was none of her business she slammed her pen down and told me to not be so rude? The fuck?

I'd say yeah to being too optimistic, if we just edge off some of May's majority, I'll take that as the best result we can hope for.
Think Putin would get an erection that would last him for at least a month if that were to ever happen.
In all likelihood yeah. Best I'm hoping for is that the Tory majority is kept small.
In other news, pub time!
yeah you should be expecting complete annihilation

Any word on general turnout so far? After the last Tory majority, Brexit and fucking Trump I would love a pleasant election surprise, but I don't think we're going to get one.

Seems like largely what was predicted - high turnout in Labour safe seats + London, certainly. Impossible to know until the exit poll what the state of play is.

Vote cast.
Labour hype train here we go.

I think May's plans for encryption and the internet in general has sent that possibility back a few decades. And that's before you even consider Putin and other cyber issues.
Oh come on, most of the world's business is run online, I fail to believe we can't implement a decent system

ID does very little to prevent voter fraud. Electronic voting is inherently insecure.
Again give this a quick watch

Just voted, for Labour obviously. Only saw one person around my age at the polling booth, hopefully I don't have to read too much into that, might just be the area. Huddersfield's a pretty safe Labour seat though so it should be alright.
To be perfectly frank your roommate's a fucking idiot.

I care not how the votes of a nation are cast, provided im the one that counts them and allathat
Anonymous voting is also inherently insecure.

Then you denied the Tories a vote.
But you have to live with yourself. Alone. Raging at the radio. A folded Daily Mail on your lap. Smelling of piss and cheap whisky.

The US has electronic voting machines. Wonder why you can't automate the count.
Considering it's the UK I'm assuming he never votes for anything ever?
The issue is that physical voting makes mass fraud very tricky to pull off, while a flaw in online voting would potentially make mass voter fraud very easy, in the end it is too big of a risk.
Do you know why we don't need i.d.?

No, but unlike software it is easy to audit and very hard to rig on a large scale unless the system is already terribly broken.
E:
The US election system is terrible. And the reason is again very simple, you cannot trust the software running on those machines.
Think of the US election again, several election machine vendors were involved in the Russian attacks. There is no telling what they can do.

Just voted in Edinburgh Leith.
Labour may not win there but still I have to vote for my morals.

I decided to vote tactically in the end and voted for Labour, despite having issues with some of their policies and having little faith in the people leading the party.
I'd rather have voted Lib Dem, but they're only going to get a fraction of the vote in my constituency and Labour need all the help they can get here.
My local MP seems decent too - she helped me out with an issue and her voting record is good, so I don't feel too bad.

I had a Fillet o Fish for lunch, because fuck getting what I actually asked for, which was a raspberry ripple shake.
Fucking horrendous. I know part of that was because I was pissed off about not getting the shake, but fucking hell does McDonald's taste like shit. I remember when I used to want this shit all the time growing up.
I was so pissed I almost voted Conservative. Almost. Cooler heads prevailed and Labour got some afternoon delight.
